WRECKIN' BAR (RA RA RA)
Pretty girl, wrecking' bar
Ra ra ra ra yeah you are
Growing up, I’m twice the man
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I am
The angel's game, F Scott Fitzgerald
The evening news and the morning herald
I know they're not from very far
But those girls do nothing for me
Where you been? You can't say?
Hey hey hey hey yeah you may
That might seem a bit below
No no no it's funny though
Let’s go home, I think we oughtta
I know you're your mother's daughter
Well brought up and royal blue
But I haven't got the time for you
Finger pointing, pre-supposing
Watch out man the doors are closing
This is what you get when you turn your back
A clear blue sky turning dirty black
GHOST TOWN
I've been driving in my car
Trying to find some sign of life
No one's about and it's kinda creepy
It's an understatement to say it's sleepy
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Well you think your town is pretty boring
Come and spend a day with me
I am asking real politely
I'm afraid to be alone
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Apocalyptic, distressing, needs addressing and I'm guessing
Everybody likes to go... I know, I know, I know
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town
Ghost town
WETSUIT
If at some point we all succumb
For goodness sake let us be young
Because time gets harder to outrun
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees
I rest on childhood memories
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
You want to do things differently
And do them independently
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Does holy water make you pure?
Submerged your vision's just obscured
You're a lot like me
In up to our knees
In over your chest is way too deep
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
TEENAGE ICON
Oh look at me
So ordinary
No mystery
With no great capability but
I could make out as if I had it
But you know
God I'm so obvious and I should let it go
Oh I don't know
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobodys hero
Reserved and shy your average guy
No piercing stare
Just out of shape with messy hair but
I always figured I was somebody an wait
And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late
Cause I'm here
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobodys hero
I'm not magnetic or mythical
I'm suburban and typical
But I got it I got it
I'm overun with it all
Seductive, charming way with words
So effortless
Not leather clad or dangerous but
I always did it like a real rebel would
I had a photo which on Lennon may have stood
So I'm told
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobodys hero
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobodys hero
UNDER YOUR THUMB
Hanging out some
Underneath European sun
Hanging out under your thumb
Under it, second to none
I don't mind about taking it slow
I’m perfectly aware of what I’m yet to know
Mutually assumed, utterly consumed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Take it in your stride but don't string me along
I wouldn't tie you down but if you did do me wrong
Thoroughly unnerved, equally perturbed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
AFTERSHAVE OCEAN
You have been struggling to see actuality
Actually, it doesn't surprise me
And you wearing wof frozen to the core
I'm not wearing anything awful
But you are pulling the wool over
Wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you
it's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
I could be talking out of line
You could put me straight
And I'd say I don't understand you
You'd say "Oh, ignorance is bliss
Come give me a kiss
Come give me a piece of your mind"
'Cause you are pulling the wool over,
Wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you
It's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
Oh you are pulling the wool over
Wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you
It's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
I get water up my nose
I have to dry my clothes
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
MELODY CALLING
Oh I,
How could I go on with it much further?
I didn’t think that it would go any further,
But now it has and it’s making me nervous,
A wonderful motion,
That is carrying in your every notion,
Oh I,
I think I might be losing my mind
Because when I hear a melody calling,
It's your melody calling?
Isn’t anyone calling?
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling
Oh I (Oh, I)
I just hear the undeniable order,
I hear it coming while you are colder
I hear it moving and cooling the border,
And crossing the ocean,
And carrying your every notion
Oh I,
I think, I might be losing my mind
Because when I hear a melody calling,
It's your melody calling
Isn’t anyone calling?
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling
Melody calling..
Melody calling
POST BREAK-UP SEX
I can barely look at you
Don't tell me who you lost it to
Didn't we say we had a deal, didn't I say how bad I'd feel?
Everyone needs a helping hand, who said I would not understand?
Someone up the social scale for when you're going off the rails have
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex
Leave it 'till the guilt consumes
I found you in the nearest room
All our friends were unaware, most had just passed out downstairs
To think I'd hoped you'd be ok, no I can't think of what to say
Maybe I misunderstood but I can't believe you're feeling good from
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex
When you love somebody but you find someone
And it all unravels and it comes undone
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex
Post break-up sex
That helps you forget your ex
What did you expect from post break-up sex

WOLF PACK
You've seen the world
What did it look like?
You took a plane
I'll take a push bike
Run with the wolves
Calling all the wolf pack
When did you go and when did you get back?
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
You're on the rocks
Would you like to get some?
I'm kind of straight
Where do you come from?
I'm always right but what's your perception?
I'm kind of shy
Oh, didn't he mention?
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
BLOW IT UP
Ok, I could live without it
Were you ever my age? No I doubt it
A Native American feather
Degenerates look better in leather
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow it up
Blow it up
Blow it up!
Trippin' out is fun on the weekend
But you don't feel as young with a girlfriend
I'm bored of trying to deal with your ego
Play it like that and it will though
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow it up
Blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow it up
Blow it up
Blow it up!
I ALWAYS KNEW
Down, down in my bones
Somewhere I'd never ever known
Right at the back of my head
It hit me like a beam of light
Hit me like a hook of the right
And I could have fell to the floor
'Cause you talk to me and it comes off the wall
You talk to me and it goes over my head
So let's go to bed before you say something real
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel
'Cause it's you
It's always you
I, I always knew
It's you
I try my best to unwind
Nothing on my mind but you
Oblivious to all that I'll owe
I'm hanging on to what I don't know
So let's go to bed before you say something real
Let's go to bed before you say how you feel
'Cause it's you
It's always you
I, I always knew
It's you
'Cause it's you
It's always you
I, I always knew
It's you
Well it's you
It's always you
I always knew
It's you
I knew, oh I always knew
Yes I always knew
It's you
IF YOU WANNA
I don't want to wake up in the morning
But I've got to face the day
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say
I don't want to do things independently
But I can't make you stay
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me
I don't want to see you with another guy
But the fact is that I may
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say
Give it just another couple months or so
Then you'll be ok
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say
Alone, all alone
I am on my own
Alone, all alone
I am on my own
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me
BAD MOOD
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage,
Oh I should loosen up some, baby I know.
But I get angrier with age,
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage.
Oh you look disappointed in me,
Oh am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Yeah I know I'm always giving you the third degree,
But you look disappointed in me.
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
We'll rate, generate, generate some more,
So what you singing about summer for?
Forgive me if I'm onto one,
And I'll afford it but I suspect,
That retrospect to your perception,
You're looking in the wrong direction.
As I'm sure you'll come through,
I'm in a pretty awful mood.
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage,
And I know I'm always putting it on you.
But I get angrier with age,
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage.
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
NØRGAARD
Great Dane's cheekbones
Teenage hormones
Young complexion
Non-physical affection
You're a god send
Do you want a boyfriend?
Crazy crazy, easy tiger
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard
Smaller ***
And skinny framework
Tall, sharp hips
And you're all in the same work
Giving me the sweet talk
Walking down the catwalk
I want a mannequin
But she won't let me in
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard
